Large Gothic oak bench on 4 angled hatchet-carved conical supports. Preserved original condition including patina. Used with a cheese press (also available). Construction, wood condition and a consideration of delay in style all suggest that the cheese press and the bench date from the 17th Century or before. A more precise dating is not possible due to lack of ornaments. French or Flemish. 14" h, 72" w, 10"-11" d Reference: figure 222, Dr. H. Kreisel "Die Kunst des Deutschen Moebels"(The Art of German Furniture), Munich, 1968. |
